TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 759,733, dated May 10,1904.

Application filed June 1, 1903. Serial No. 159,467. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DE HAVEN Monmsa citi- Zen of the United States,residing in the city of Wilmington, county of Newcastle, State ofDelaware, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tools, of whichthe following is a specification.

My invention relates to tools, as axes, hatchets, hammers, &c.', and itconsists in making the tool of a plurality of parts, whereby economy ofmaterial and labor is secured.

It further consists of novel details of construction, all as Will behereinafter set forth.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a hatchet embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 represents a top plan view. of the same. Fig. 8represents a section through the line 00 m, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 represents arear end view.

Similar characters of reference indicate cor-- responding parts in thefigures.

Referring to the drawings, A and B designate the sides of the pole of anax or hatchet. Each of these has a narrowed portion C, a shoulder D, arecess E, and a corner notch or recess F. Each is also pierced withrivetholes G, countersunk at H. The side A has an additional recess K,to which corresponds an abutment L on the side B.

The blade M is of usual or desired form. is pierced with rivet-holes N,and may have the usual lathing-notch P.

When the parts are assembled as shown in the drawings, the portions Ocooperate to form a recess for the rear end of the face portion, shownas a blade M, which abuts against the shoulders D, the holes G and Nregistering to receive rivets R, which may be headed in the countersunkapertures H. In the same way the recesses E conjoin to form an eye, theabutment L enters into and fills the recess K, and the corn er recesses2 together make a dovetailed notch, as shown in Fig. 4.

It will be noted that the blade M is firmly held between the portion Oand that, owing to the shoulders D, against which the blade is firmlyheld, and the engagement of the abutment L in the recess K, no shearingeffect can be produced on the rivets.

My invention permits the making of an ax 0r hatchet having a steel bladeand a pole of suitable metal, as malleable iron, dropforgings, steelcastings, &c.

It will be evident that various changes may be made by those skilled inthe art which may come within the scope of my invention, and 1 do not,therefore, desire to be limited in every instance to the exactconstruction herein shown and described.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A tool comprising a pole or body of tapering thickness in two parts,having recesses coacting to form an eye, one of said parts having agroove extending its entire width and the other an abutment entering andfillingsaid groove, said groove and said abutment being located betweensaid eye and the thicker end of said body, and a face portion securedbetween said parts.

2. A tool comprising a pole or body consisting of a plurality of parts,a face portion and means for securing said pole parts and said faceportion together, said pole parts being formed with angular cornernotches or recesses in their adjacent faces, whereby a nail-headengagingnotch is formed in said pole.
